West Columbia Gorge Chamber of Commerce

Sometimes a smaller crowd makes for the BEST conversations!

With the first week of school keeping everyone busy, this week’s Chamber Chat was a little more intimate, and we loved it. Smaller gatherings give us the chance to slow down, have meaningful conversations, and get to know our fellow Chamber members a little better.

That’s what Chamber Chat is all about: connection, conversation, and community.

Will we see you at the next one? We’d love the chance to get to know YOU better!

We had some pretty incredible young entrepreneurs join us this morning!

Red Curls presented to the West Columbia Gorge Chamber of Commerce and shared the story behind their locally created Emergency Tick Kits. These two 11-year-old twin entrepreneurs are already turning an idea into a business, solving a problem, and learning what it takes to build something of their own.

We love supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs in our community, and these two are extraordinary!

Be sure to check out Red Curls and their products. We think you’ll be just as impressed as we were!

What an awesome afternoon at Learn Over Lunch!

A huge thank you to the Cascadia Arts Association for joining us and sharing more about the upcoming Cascadia Fine Arts Festival happening May 16–17, 2026 in beautiful Troutdale.

This incredible community event will feature fine art and artisan crafts from talented Pacific Northwest artists, all set in Historic Downtown Troutdale. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore local restaurants, shops, pubs, and support the arts in our region.

They are currently looking for volunteers to help make this event a success. If you’d like to get involved in the community and support the arts, sign up today!
